HaterME: The Saboteur.....

So apparently Big Brother 12 was on to something with their new twist this summer. And apparently it's catching on across the nation.  
So today, Beastie Boys on rotation .

Sabotage.....

Whyyy; Our Backs Are Now Against The Wall
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage

I Can't Stand It, I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight This Watergate
But I Can't Stand Rockin' When I'm In This Place
Because I Feel Disgrace Because You're All In My Face
But Make No Mistakes And Switch Up My Channel
I'm Buddy Rich When I Fly Off The Handle
What Could It Be, It's A Mirage
You're Scheming On A Thing - That's Sabotage

BB12 picked someone to come into the house and instead of playing the game, fighting to win $500K, their mission was to try to screwup everyone else's game. But at least The Saboteur would win $20K. What I don't understand is The Sab who does it for no reason. Well, no that's not true, I'm sure they have their own personal reasons, I just don't get them.

I've been battling Sabs all week. They are trying to jack up my work every time I turn around. And because I keep sidestepping their little traps, they keep trying harder. At first I thought it was my imagination or just little mistakes here or there. But now I can see it's deliberate.

People are funny. Why do they feel the need to tarnish my shine so that they can shine brighter? Don't they know you can't. lol I'm always gonna shine, whether you shine or not. I don't have to dull your shine to do it. I just turn mine up. And being the kind person that I am, I'll even toss some your way.  Heck Diddy said it

Yo, the sun don't shine forever
But as long as it's here then we might as well shine together
Better now than never, business before pleasure
 
But nooooooo since you can't do what I do, you try to mess up what I've done. It's ok. Because now I'll just have to blind you with my light. Plug in the 100 watt bulbs lol.

Something else I've learned this week. The Saboteur is not always someone else. I have found myself being sabotaged from within. WoeIsME can do some serious damage if I don't reign her in. WoeIsME almost had even our fearless superhero, CraftyME throwing in the hooks and needles to join her for some misery companionship.  

But it's okay Cause I'm combating it  ALL with a healthy dose of Estelle "Shine"

Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'm a shine
While my lights on
 

I'm a shine
I'm a shine
I'm a shine
While my lights on
I'm a shine
I'm a shine
I'm a shine
While my lights on

CraftyME held on and is still fighting the good fight against the WoeIsME blues.  CraftyME's gonna shine and get her craft on.......

HaterME: The Newfangled Golden Rule

I am a cliche lover of sorts. I try to live my life by certain creeds or mottos if you will. I post some on my desk at work others I spout off in any given moment. Mainly I use them as kind of affirmations.
"Consistency is Key"
"Anything is possible"
"Stop wishing...BE"
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you CAN do."
But my #1 is and always has been The Golden Rule. You know "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." Basically try to treat people the way you want to be treated. Apparently not everyone subscribes to this philosophy. Either that or they subscribe to The NewFangled Golden Rule circa 2010, "SELF!" or it's cousin, "Do You!"
This conflict of rules has been the cause of alot of WoeIsME's issues as of late. Because I believe the first and many around ME subscribe to the later. Your natural instinct when you feel mistreated is to say "Fine, if you want to be like that then I will too!" HaterME says "OK I'll just Do ME". But this doesn't work, after the anger wears off I'm just left conflicted because I'll always default to TGR.
"You can't allow others to make you come out of your character"
"Don't stoop down to the level of others. Bring them up to your level."
"You cannot control someone else's actions. You can only control your reactions."
I struggle with those 3. I have to consistently remind myself of them. But I must find the balance between them all. I won't stop treating others the way I want to be treated just because they continuously just look out for self. I won't allow them to make me step out of my self. Am I always right? More than likely not. Will I continue to be overly sensitive and get hurt? Yeppers. Like they say, Do you. This is ME.
